Reflections From a Murky Pond

Technology advances but people stay the same. Technological advances normally just change the delivery systems for things we already crave.

A New Improved Delivery System?

On the bright side, this could lead to a smoking hot future.

In the past I’ve made some sarcastic posts about DOMA and traditional aka biblical marriage. To continue in that vein here’s an instructional video by Betty Bowers on traditional marriage as defined by biblical precedent:

Betty Bowers on Traditional Marriage Per The Bible

Yes, the video is needlessly harsh, insulting, and sarcastic. It also uses some pretty far-fetched interpretation of biblical passages – e.g., there’s no theological basis for saying Eve seduced Cain; it’s far more likely that he took one of his unnamed in the Bible sisters to wife. That doesn’t, however, mean that it doesn’t contain a number of simple truths about what Yahweh supposed endorses by way of marriage.

Christians, you need to read your Bible; it is, after all, your holy book and, as such, more than worthy of individual study.

In it are many passages that show that Abraham’s God seemed to have little or no problem with many forms of marriage beyond “one man and one woman.” Indeed, nowhere’s in the Bible is monogamy ever explicitly described as a requirement.

Divorce, contrariwise, was expressly forbidden in both Old and New Testaments.

On the other hand, the Bible does maintain that same-sex marriage, along with a number of other acts now generally considered OK, is right out, forbidden, and an abomination to be treated with abhorrence and lethal violence.

Remember, God hates fags – though possibly not lesbians, multi-cropping / under-planting, poly-cotton blends, gaudy jewelry, and shellfish.

So, my dear Christian sometimes-allies, have some fun with this if you can. Think a bit on it though; there’s truth buried in any bit of humor, elsewise it wouldn’t be funny.

It’s Christmas Eve and most Americans will spend the night snug in their beds with various pleasing visions dancing in their heads. Some few though will spend it otherwise…

A Soldier’s Night Before Christmas

So when your enjoying opening your Christmas presents tomorrow and/or enjoying watching your loved ones open theirs, give a moments thought to present you’ve all recieved – your liberty, security, and prosperity. They didn’t come from Santa and they were purchased with Amex or Visa; they were leased with the blood, sweat, and tears of the men and women of our armed services.

Yes, your liberty, security, and prosperity were and are gifts. You likely did not earn them and, given the degeneration of American society, you likely don’t deserve them.

To my fellow Pagans and Heathens – It was just Yule and these men and women offered themselves up to the Wicker Man in our names in all willingness and in the fullness of knowledge.

That’s the best part presents – and rights – though, isn’t it? You don’t have to earn them or deserve them as long as someone else is willing to foot the bill.

Merry Christmas and a Blessed Yuletide.
